ellauri141.html on line 341: Pientä epäselvyyttä vallizee siitä oliko Flaccus sittenkään epikurolainen vaiko ize asiassa salastoalainen. Bisexuaaliko vaiko vaan asexuaali? Ehkä molempia. Satiiri tulee sanasta satura, roomalainen rosolli. Kaiken kaikkiaan voi sanoa että Flaccus oli vitun kuivakka, lähes Kimmo Koskenniemi-luokan pedantti. Häneltä puuttuu välittömyyttä, lainataxemme Eero Kivikaria. Vaikka toisinaan Horatius voi mennä suorastaan arveluttavan pitkälle, kuten esimerkixi epoodeissa 8 ja 12. Blame Horace’s snaky, samba-like rhythms and the culture that spawned the poems. Horace is fond of wordplays, including subtly allusive bilingual wordplays.
xxx/ellauri087.html on line 456: Further in the field of science fiction, Ursula K. Le Guin wrote a Hugo-nominated short story whose title, "Vaster than Empires and More Slow", is taken from the poem. Ian Watson notes the debt of this story to Marvell, "whose complex and allusive poems are of a later form of pastoral to that which I shall refer, and, like Marvell, Le Guin's nature references are, as I want to argue, "pastoral" in a much more fundamental and interesting way than this simplistic use of the term." There are other allusions to the poem in the field of Fantasy and Science Fiction: the first book of James Kahn's "New World Series" is titled "World Enough, and Time"; the third book of Joe Haldeman's "Worlds" trilogy is titled "Worlds Enough and Time"; and Peter S. Beagle's novel A Fine and Private Place about a love affair between two ghosts in a graveyard. The latter phrase has been widely used as a euphemism for the grave, and has formed the title of several mystery novels.
xxx/ellauri127.html on line 116: There are currently five scholarly journals devoted to Nabokov studies. His allusive style and trilingual (English, French, Russian) wordplay are catnip for academics, who endlessly parse challenging texts like “Pale Fire” — a novel in verse, followed by obscurantist commentary — finding new apercus tailor-made for small-journal publication. Nabokov’s apotheosis in academe is quite ironical, because he and his close friend, the literary critic Edmund Wilson, shared an icy disdain for the ivory tower. They viewed universities as ATMs, handy because there were so many of them, and because they were flush with cash. Nabokov, who arrived in the United States penniless in 1940, had to rely on teaching assignments at Wellesley and Cornell to feed his family for 15 years. The moment “Lolita” made him financially independent, he fled Cornell for Switzerland and never set foot in a classroom again.
xxx/ellauri148.html on line 478: Brasilia, Brazil. ”O valor da unidade em tempos de crise” by Nova Acropole. Brazil will carry out a set of activities allusive to the date. In a year in which the Coronavirus pandemic has pockmarked humanity, and especially Brazil, nothing could be fairer than to offer the public philosophical lectures that are pertinent to the crisis we are currently experiencing.
